Evansville Likely to Have Another Encounter
with the Telephone People.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
EVANSVILLE, Nov. 30.-Another telephone
fight will take place in this city in the
future. which promises to be more spirited than
the one in 1885, In July, 1886, the City Council
cut the wires and poles of the Cumberland Tel
ephone Company, because it refused to comply
with the "$3 per month law" which was passed
by the Legislature, in 1885. aud later sustained
by the Supreme Court A majority of citizens
and telephone subscribers approved the action
of the Council Since that time this city has
been wholly without service, and the
people are now beginning to look
upon the telephone as luxury,
rather than a necessity. The new City Council.
elected in April last, astounded the people OF the
city few months since by voting back the fran
chise of the telephone company. with the provi-
sion that the city be furnished with thirteen tel
ephones for constant service, making no de-
mand that the people of the city should
be supplied with service. Vice presideDt
Rhea of the Cumberland company. with head
quarters in Nashville, has written to the Bust
ness Mems Association. of this city, asking for
conference that a scale of rates might be agreed
upon that service can be restored here The
Association looks upon the request admis-
sion that other than legal rates are expectec by
telephone people, hence their desire for a con fer
ence. At largely attended meeting of the Bust
ness Mems Association, last night, it was unan-
imously decided not to yield to the telephone
company, but to demand good service At SO per
month The local stakeholder of the telephone
company intmates that if the citizens do not
make concessions the telephone company will
furnish service only to the thirteen instru-
ments for city officers, in order to
hold their valuable franchise They
will meet obstacle however,
for as soon operations are begun, which the
council provided should be by January l, 1883,
certain citizens will get ont an Injunction on
the ground that the laws of this State provide
that telephone companies operating in Indiana
shall have their principal Offices in the State and
majority of the directors shall also be resi-
dents. The general Office ofstbs Cumberland
company, is in Nashville, and but director
resides in Indiana. In the meantime Evans
vie's citizens are losing no sleep for the want
of telephones.

Pretty Fair Shooting.

The general disagreeableness of yesterday
was not sufficient to deter those ardent
members of the Butte Rifle Club, Messrs.
ShuItz, Stinson and Shepherd, from pay.
ing their respects to the target at the
range. They had been chez ted out OF their
mid-week shoot last Wednesday, and were
bound they should not miss two practice
days in succession. They vent out to the
ground at half-past 2 and remained there
until the wagon called for them at 4:15 by
which time they had shot off all the cart
ridges they had with them. Out of a pos
sible fifty, at the 200 range. Doc. Shultz
made three scores of forty each, one of fer
ty-two and n of forty-three; Shepherd
made one th%irty-nine and one of thirty
eight while Stinson made one Of thirty
nine, and a half score OF twenty. three out
Ola possible twenty-five. 1t was al. rapid
firing without cleaning once and shows that
have some good shots in Butte. There
might be more than there are if the rest OF
the club were as in~defatigable as these gen.
and one or two more.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY NvEsTIGA.
TON.

Commissioner Pattison, with the wis
dom that has characterized his conduct of
the Pacific Railway investigation, has in.
sisted from the start that there shall be
no star chamber sessions. This is the cor
rect conclusion. Everything fin this inves-
t~igation should be open and above board,
for it is a matter in which the public is e.
pecially interested. So far, the investiga-
ton has disclosed the fact that there is
something in the matter with the manage
ment of the Pacific subsidized railways
which should be looked into and reported
to Congress. Gross determinations have
been shown which should be looked into.
Problems have been raised in the premises
which ought to be solved. Rebates have
allowed to the favored few, such
as the Omaha Smelter Com
pany, which did rank injus'
tice to like industries elsewhere
especially to the Argo Works in Colorado,
as has been shown in the printed testi-
mony taken by the Commission at Omaha
and Denver. These facts are worthy OF
the consideration of Congress. The MEM
UtT6s representing ~ POoPAo VI o"O So~S9
and Territories are expected to protect
the rights OF their constituencies in this
matter and they will be direlict in duty
if they do not do 30. They are paid but
poorly we will admit for this sort of ser
vice, but 80 long as they undertake it 10
complaint should be placed to their
credit. They should accept the situa-
ton as they find it and acceptit at the start.
~
While we believe thoroughly in the theory
that no money was misspent in the way of
subsidies to the Pacific railways, we would
have them observe all OF the covenants of
the contracts that these respective COM
panies made with the Government. Some
of them may be in a measure binding on
the contracting companies but they having
entered into them should not default in
their performance. This would not be bu-
siness, and the parties to these contracts
claim to be business men. and that fact
absolves the Government from giving any
consideration to their claims for any
showing OF special favor.

THE ALICE.


a VISIT - the NamRoeh Conoer1-h Com
dnued Prosperity In spite Of Powerful
Drawbaclks.
A party Of gentlemen, Including . repre-
sentative of THE MINER, paid . visit yes
terday to the Alice mine, and through tho
courtesy of Superintendent Hall were
shown many points Of interestin this mann
moth concern. The new furnace in course
of construction was first shown to them
and the improvements it will have Y
those now in use explained. The founda-
tions are being hewn out Of tho granite for
nation q few feet north Of this upon which
one of the largest smoke stacks in tho dis
trict will be erected. The power house wal
then inspected and the immense capacity
of the Cornish pump explained. Every
thing about it's Titanic proportions seemed
to re constructed on q scale to last for all
time. Descending to the 1000 foot level,
the party were taken through erosscuts
north and south to the furthest
limit, and the direction OF the ledge
shown at every stage. The paystreak st
this level is very narrow and an immense
amount Of mining has to be done to get ut
it. There is a great deal of the ore in these
lower levels that will not run more than 81
to 81 q ton. and with the present high
price of salt there is no known method by
which it can be worked pro6tably. The
party then assembled to the 5OO.foot level
in which they went from the south to the
north vein. In this the ore was an i'm
provement upon that below, but even it is
too base to work BY itself. The rock taken
from the 10 yer levels has to be sorted from
the waste before being sent up. The work
ings of this mine are very expensive. From
all the levels ore il yet being taken except
the 1OO-foot. The party then paid q visit
to the Magma Charta. north OF the Alice,
and belonging to the same company. Here
they. went down to the 100 level and de-
scended to the stope on the north vein.
The ore here is much richer than that of
the Alice and 10 cars q day are taken
from it to use with the Alice ore in the re-
duction process. The body of ore is large
and much less expensive to work than in
the Alice. Mr.. Hall spoke very favorably Of
the of this property and OF it's
immense ore body, which, though not rich,
is OF great extent. Iu these two mines there
are over twelve miles Of levels and it would
take a man a week to 60 through all the
workings. Both mines are provided with
safety cages, which will stop the cage within
a foot if the rope should break. The works
altogether reflect credit upon Mr.. Halls en-
ergy and intelligent management of the
property under . season of depression aris-
ing from the low price OF silver and the
high price of one of the most necessary COM
modities in the process Of reduction, name
ly, salt. e.
